The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

Here's a new one... Which is the #AgathaChristie you've read the MOST? Not your favourite necessarily, but the one you reckon you've picked up the most times. Gray's, unsurprisingly, is a 60s one - #TheMirrorCrackdfromSidetoSide! What's yours?
